Caixa Bolsters Brazilian Club Portfolio, Agrees To Deal With Brasileiro Club Coritiba

Caixa Econômica Federal "has further enhanced its presence in Brazilian club football" by agreeing a one-year deal to become the new main shirt sponsor of Brasileiro club Coritiba, according to SOCCEREX. The agreement with government-owned financial institution Caixa is worth a reported R$6M ($2.98M) to Coritiba, and comes just days "after the company sealed a similar one-year deal with Flamengo." It means that Caixa "now sponsors four Serie A clubs, with the firm also backing Atlético Paranaense and Corinthians" (SOCCEREX, 5/13).
